League of Ducks

Introduction

"League of Ducks" is a casual jump-and-run game where the goal is to defeat all other players (ducks) and be the last one standing. The game consists of multiple rounds, and the player with the highest score at the end of the game wins. We developed this project using the Unity development environment and the Photon Network Engine. Currently, the game is available for Android devices (version 4.0.3 and up), Windows computers (Windows 7+ and .NET Framework 3.5+), and as an HTML5 version (for modern browsers in beta stage). The project is designed to be cross-platform, allowing players on different devices to play together seamlessly. The game logic is primarily written in C#.

Conclusion

"League of Ducks" presented us with new challenges that our team successfully overcame. We applied our past experiences from previous projects to create a game that offers both challenges and enjoyment. In hindsight, this project was a success, and working on it as a team was a fun and rewarding experience. We look forward to applying the knowledge gained from this project to future endeavors.
